Lyon, France: The move towards low carbon transport is a dominant theme at this year’s Solutrans exhibition (16 to 20 November 2021 at Lyon, France).
The show will see the presentation of the VIsion’Air study conducted by Le BiPE and BDO.
This global study will, for the first time in Europe, draw up an analysis of the powertrain mix by country, by segment, by year, by main vehicle category, and their carbon contribution.
It will therefore offer professionals in the sector an advance snapshot of markets in 2040, enabling them to align with
the targets of the European Commission.
Supporting the exhibition are seminars with the opening plenary on the theme: Hydrogen: what does the future hold for the HGV sector? This session is organised in association with France Hydrogène.
The talks and round tables will focus on connectivity, electrification, employment, CSR and cyber
security.
Eurexpo, is shaping up to be a platform for business recovery, coming as the only international event
in 2021 dealing in innovation and information for the truck sector.
Ove a quarter of exhibitors are from outside France making this an international event the organisers say. 15 countries are represented, headed by Germany, Italy, Belgium, the United
Kingdom and the Netherlands.
There is also an online version of the show will offer visitors the opportunity, whenever they wish and wherever they may be, to dive into an interactive space in
which they will be able to visit the exhibitors’ stands, enter into contact with them and discover their new products in the space of a click.
There is also a vehicle demonstration zone that includes a number of “new energy” vehicles (gas, hybrid, electric, fuel cell) for those who wish to “see and test” vehicles.
